The venues for the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup have been confirmed ahead of this weekend's quarter-finals.

Leinster and Munster both have home quarter-finals against Wasps and Toulouse respectively, but only Rassie Erasmus' side have the opportunity of playing at home in the semi-finals.

If Munster are to overcome Toulouse this weekend, they will play their semi-final in the Aviva Stadium, as long as Saracens defeat Glasgow Warriors. Should Gregor Townsend's side beat the reigning champions, they will play either Munster or Toulouse in Murrayfield.
